Corrections – 7

A few corrections from what you said:

  • “That is worth memorizing”, not “that’s worth to memorize.”
    After worth, use -ing: worth learning, worth remembering, worth watching.
  • “Soon after you encounter it” sounds more natural than “in the near time.”
  • “I get bored”, not “I get boring.”
    bored = how you feel; boring = something that causes boredom.
  • “After a few months, it may slip into my passive vocabulary or disappear from my memory.” This would be a natural C1 way to express your idea.
  • “What can you advise?” is possible, but “What would you recommend?” is much more natural here.

A few natural corrections from what you said:

  • “I started speaking without any preparation.”
    Not “without any preparations” in this context.
  • “I could take a different approach.”
  • “I could prepare some vocabulary and phrases so that I would sound much better.”
  • “Is spontaneous conversation without preparation a good way to practise, or is it better to prepare first?”

Very natural (C1, conversational): OK, thanks. I’ll give it a try. Why: We usually don’t put a comma after Thank you when it’s a…

    15/09/2026 If, before writing, I already know that I don’t know several words, should I look them up before I start writing? That seems logical, doesn’t it? ————————– “Look up” is a common English phrase with several distinct meanings. Most often, it means to search for a piece of information in a book or online….

    Corrections and Explanations: 1. “I watched few YouTube videos” → “I watched a few YouTube videos” Rule: After verbs like “watch,” if you mean “some,” you need “a few” (positive meaning). “Few” alone means “almost none,” which sounds negative. 2. “create kind of synopsis” → “create a kind of synopsis” Rule: We usually add an…
